What is a soft shell fabric?

The soft shell fabric (Soft Shell) is basically a warm and windproof induction shell in autumn and winter. Of course, we want to prevent rain from looking for the soft shell fabric. The two famous "soft shell" fabrics are currently known as the Wind-Stopper Soft Shell of Gore and Conduit Soft Shell of Mountain Hard Ware.

Recently, there are other brands will be "transplanted and play the original concept of soft shell", developed similar to the jacket light, thin but pure coat type "Soft Shell" is not warm (in fact, this kind of clothing should be referred to as Utility Shell). Anyway, this word has no special rights, everyone can call their products Soft Shell, but the pain of our users, those dazzling nouns make yunshanwuzhao.

May go back to Soft Shell root meaning, the interpretation of the concept of "soft shell", and there can be roughly understanding -- "soft", means that this type of clothing from a soft warm Fleece.

"Shell", indicating that it can also be worn as a coat, with a little or complete rain proof function.

Marmot's definition is this: Soft Shell = comfortable, breathable, durable and versatile. Soft Shell is a common Wind-Stopper, Wind-Pro or Wind-Block type of Fleece (sweater only with windproof function) better alternatives, expand the performance of traditional windproof sweater, so as to be suitable for the activity area wider and more diverse weather conditions.
